Where do I grow? Reaction to my stuff here has usually just been a thumbs up. I post on other places and have an ok following, and around 4chan people are like "oh I know you". So, that's good for my feels but it doesn't give me the critical feedback. What do I tweak or how should I compose drawings and make them better?

The colors are awesome and the style could be worked on, sure, but there is nothing bad on symbol drawing outside being limiting to learning volume drawing

OP if i were you i would start putting a plot to that and make a webcómic. Find someone to write a stupid plot for you if you are dull for that, but get the ball rolling even if it doesnt become popular. It will allow you to draw what you like, and force you to draw a lot of shit you would never do otherwise

Really the most basic plot would do

I miss when we only had quality schizos like pixel art scribble guy maintaining active scribble threads on multiple boards simultaneously. And namefagging schizos because they're filterable. Even the obnoxious schizos were preferable to this because they were autisming out over one thing and sometimes their conspiracy theories and rants could be fun to read.

These new schizos suck ass. Half of them are low quality and surface level with the personality of cardboard and memory of a goldfish. They don't rant, they don't theorize. Instead of debating and convincing people to see things their way they just brute force spam and samefag their way through every obstacle. If you argue into submission they can see when they've lost and give up until the goldfish memory resets and they pretend nothing happened after their dumb post has bumped off the thread preview, then it's time to gaslight and samefag away if anyone points it out. Not even derailing like a normal person just insult spamming.

I think a lot of our new schizos are just one terminally online guy who gets bored when his other posts get ignored, because a lot of them do all this shit and even talk and insult the same. Hes posted responses to people arguing with other schizos in the wrong thread before.

A true schizo doesn't see reason, a true schizo doesn't back down, true schizos engage in debate to bring someone to their side. This cancer on our board is a sadistic abusive gooner retard larping as multiple schizos. Hes driven away most if not all of our real resident schizoids and now he wears their personality as a skin.

It's disgusting and he isn't even entertaining at all. Just annoying like a child that wants attention.

Goodbye /ic/.
I just bought myself one of these bad boys, a 5000 paper stack for me to learn how to draw. I have downloaded every single course that I will ever need for a few years and in a few moments I will disconnect myself from the internet and cut the cable. I also got a drawing tablet for when I need to start using it. But for now, the paper will do. I have downloaded every single resource over at /asg/ and I will go through them. I don't need the internet anymore.
Thank you for providing books and helping with courses. I wish you only the best and nothing but the best.

I will keep checking the thread while I finish up unpacking everything. I will report back once I've finished using up all of this paper.

This. It's so fucking overwhelming having so much information and so many "correct" starting places. It's much better if you just sit down with ONE book (Fun With a Pencil in my case) and start there. Otherwise, you're just gonna be paralyzed forever. It's like having too many video games and not playing any of them BECAUSE you have so many to pick from.

One thing I never understood about the Loomis method and it drives me crazy is in the books Loomis draws the head as a sphere with it's sides cut off. But all drawing tutorials, and even Loomis himself don't cut the sides of the sphere when it's seen from 3/4 or any other angle. It doesn't make any sense. A sphere doesn't have foreshortening, it doesn't matter from what angle you look at it it's 2D contour is always a perfect circle. But when you cut it's side, with exception of a few angles it makes a huge difference in perspective. Most drawing tutorials and even Loomis just draw a sphere with ovals on it's sides, but if the sphere was actually cut it would look something like this. Also from most tutorials the back of the head isn't cut to give the cranium it's distinct oval shape.

Is there any way to move beyond drawing like a 10 year old and having little to no creativity? I think I might need a mentor because I definitely wasn’t made for self-teaching. It feels like I’ve wasted three months just walking in circles

>It feels like I’ve wasted three months just walking in circles
Learning art is just like this. Obviously the catch is that you don't want to actually be wasting time and learning nothing, but even while learning it can feel like that's what is happening. So you have to have a certain level of self awareness, while also not being too in your own head to the point you hold yourself back.

As for how to draw more gooder, draw from life. Do specific exercises like "full body, 10 minutes". (this is what you do in art school) This also helps with comparison over time. I will feel like I have made no progress, then I see my drawings from a year ago and it looks like doodie compared to what I do now.

For drawing more creative-like, think about what you want, what kinds of art do you wish there was more of. Try to get over your inhibition. I struggle from this. I think "that idea sucks" then I never pursue it. But ideas aren't just a thought, they are developed. Just like how drawing is something you build up, work back and forth with. You don't just do it all at once and it's perfect. You have to massage it, caress it, you have to kiss the neck of your idea, and really feel its curves.

I fucking love the chrome brushes in krita but I hate how I can never remember how to zoom in and out every time I try to use it again KEK

If I could replicate those brushes perfectly into clip studio I would be so happy

for those of you who have actually made it out of the trenches, how would you recommend someone to find a job in artwork?
what sort of skill level/ specific skills do you need?
what level of output do you need to achieve?
is previous work experience necessary?
should you try to gain a following to make it easier to find work?
about to turn 21 and in college for cybersec. ive already been practicing for a few years and im fine with working for a few more before i get an art job, but id like to plan for what i need to achieve to do so. im 2d focused but advice pertaining to 3d is also appreciated

There ain't none. People who've been in the industry for decades are struggling to find work. Personally, I'm doing OK, but I know I'm lucky.

>Again, you wont be painting anime characters, only in your fantasies that scenario is plausible. For 2D Photoshop is industry standard wether you like it or not. If you dont even understand the reasons, you are still green.

LOL, I've seen long-time professionals, people with decades of experience, jumping ship for other software for the past 4 years. If you think I'm talking about anime artists perhaps you should take a look at some of that social media you despise so much.

Have you considered that you might be out of touch and trapped in the past?

If you actually did both you'd understand that traditional methods do a lot of the heavy work for you with textures, noise and organic variations. Half of what makes a digital artist good is being able to emulate what trad mediums do without effort. It's arguable digital requires more skill in that regard.
